| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @ghdprentice Only the USB cable is new. And it has improved a lot after only 72 hours. I want to thank you for the insights you offer. Your focus on musicality over pure sonics has greatly influenced my listening. As I've moved up in resolutio... | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @soix You're absolutely right. I spent a good part of today listening and comparing. What I noticed is that the USB has a much bigger and deeper soundstage that initially sounded strange. Today I toed in my speakers about a half inch more and th... | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @ronboco I never used the DAC in the Node 2i except when my BitFrost needed service. I just happened to receive the LPS for the Node the day after I sent it off. So I listened to the Node DAC for one day without LPS and the next day I installed ... | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer Well, I finally got to hear the BitFrost with the USB input. And I didn't like it! I listened for a day and something just sounded off. Tried a lot of different music and they all seemed not quite right. So I switched back to my coax cable and i... | |

| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @wsrrsw I worked with Mike on a commercial he was producing and played on. Sometime in the late 1980s. Talented guy. | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @thriftyaudio I know Innuos is coming out with the Stream 1 and 3. They're modular, you can configure it the way you want, and reconfigure with different modules as your needs change. I considered waiting and checking it out but I got a good dea... | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer It’s totally worth it for the SQ but I’m quickly discovering all the convenient BluOs features I’m losing. I had several presets that were mapped onto a spare IR remote I had. I could launch playlists or radio with a click. I could also play/pause... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations A Bryston 4B3 or the higher end 14B3 are both a good match. That’s what my ATC dealer recommends. The 4B3 is only about 45lbs if size and weight are a consideration. | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? Thanks for all the input. I decided to get an Innuos Pulse to replace my Node 2i. That way I can use the USB input in the BitFrost and evaluate how that sounds. | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? @buellrider97 When the 4311s were the most popular studio monitors, they almost always had a 1/3 octave equalizer in the chain. I expect the 4312s were the same. You might consider trying one. It can be fun to dial in your sound if nothing else. | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? @buellrider97 The 4311As are really the only model I really love. I like the JBL sound in general but these have some unique features. Even so, I'm using a graphic equalizer to tame some peaks. I haven't heard any others with the micro dynamics ... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area I just experienced exactly that. My speakers are 12" 3 way. I've been looking for a smaller speaker that can best them, and have come up empty. Most recently, I auditioned a pair of ATC SCM20P. Having heard the 50s and being told that all ATC sp... | |
| Anyone have experience with the new ATC active bookshelf speakers? I recently auditioned a pair of ATC SCM20 but the passive version paired with a Bryston 3B3. I really liked them but not as much as what I have so I returned them. The were very well balanced with great dispersion and a big soundstage for their s... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive After I put up my first configuration of treatments (absorption and diffusion) I would run my RTA with Pink noise and walk around the room. As I heard the sound change, I would point the microphone in various directions to see which frequencies we... |
